IntroductionA background on Rosetta, Mirth Connect and how they come together at ahigh level.

What Is Rosetta?Rosetta is NextGen’s proprietary interface message handlerSupports HL7 versions 2.3 and 2.5 (2.51)Rosetta includes support for the HIE Gateway componentRosetta supports many HL7 message types – below are some common items: Demographics – ADT [A04,A08,A18,A28,A31] Patient Case – ADT [Z01] Scheduling – SIU [S12,S13,S14,S15,S17,S26] Charges – DFT [P03] Lab/RIS/PACS Orders – ORM [O01] Lab Results – ORU [R01] Documents/RIS/PACS Results – MDM [T02] & ORU [R01] Immunizations – VXU [V04] Pharmacy – RDE [O11] Master File Notification – MFN Syndromic Surveillance – ADT [A08]

What Rosetta Is Not?Rosetta is not an interface (mapping) engine like Mirth Connect, CloverLeaf,eGate and Siemens OpenLinkRosetta expects HL7 messages to adhere to the NextGen specsRosetta cannot manipulate, move, or reformat data so an engine must be usedto manipulate messages Any changes to inbound messages must be made before the messageis processed by Rosetta Any changes to outbound messages must be made after the message issent by RosettaRosetta is not generally used for Equipment Interfaces

What’s “In the Box” with Rosetta?Rosetta includes the Windows service, Management console and HoldingTank but is not the product clients actually purchase HIE Gateway component is included with the Rosetta installerClients actually purchase individual interface “Agents” Lab Orders/Results Demographics Exchange CCD/C-CDA ExchangeMirth Connect is not included with purchase of Rosetta Agents However, Mirth Connect is a free download when needed

What is the HIE Gateway?It is a component of Rosetta which supports most processes doing C-CDA,XDS.b, PIX/PDQ and other transactionsRequires Microsoft Internet Information Server Leverages Web Services for communication and data transfer (i.e. SSL)Adds support for XDR (used with NG Share) and XDS.b messages (differentfrom HL7)Adds support for PIX/PDQ for Master Person Index (MPI) integrationsUsed when exchanging a CCD/C-CDA with a third-party HIE (XDS.b) No two HIEs are setup the same way, so implementations take time

Mirth Corp and QSIQSI acquired Mirth in 2013 and Mirth is a core part of NextGen’s strategyMirth currently offers a suite of products Mirth Connect (Integration Engine) Mirth Results (Clinical Data Repository/Health InformationExchange/Portals) Mirth Match (Enterprise Master Patient Index/eMPI) Mirth Mail (DirectTrust Certified HISP) Mirth Analytics (Population Health Management) Mirth Care Enterprise (Chronic Disease Management, Transitions of Care)

What Is Mirth Connect?A Healthcare Integration Engine Cross-platform Message & Data Type Agnostic Including Flat files, Batch, Real-Time,HL7, CCD, Etc.Easy to Use and Powerful Graphical Administration Tools Simple Channel-Based Interface DevelopmentFlexible Plug-in Architecture Extensible via Java and JavaScript Multiple Routes, Filters, and Transformations

What Is Mirth Connect?Cost Effective Open Source version is free to download, but does not include support Commercial version comes with support and enterprise extensions No “Per Interface License Fees”Certification Training Available Mirth Connect Fundamentals Mirth Connect Advanced Each class is 4 days long and requires passing an exam to becomecertified

What Mirth Connect Is Not?Mirth Connect is not typically a direct interface with the NextGen DB.Mirth Connect is not required to run in Windows.Mirth Connect does not have per interface feesMirth Connect is not tied to the NextGen EHRMirth Connect is not a data repository or master patient indexMirth Connect is not a replacement for Rosetta

Where do Rosetta and Connect Meet? When integrating with other systems in your community such as hospitals orlabs When filtering / modification of messages coming into Rosetta must beperformed When modifications of messages being sent to system downstream ofRosetta are required When outbound messages need to be fanned out to multiple downstreamsystems

Use CasesThere are 1,000’s of use cases, these are a few examples of how you canuse Rosetta and Connect together.*** These use cases are only intended to be examples. If you attempt to implement them or something like themyou may have to perform more research, manipulation and actions than are described in the following section.

Message Filtering

Message Filtering Use Case 1Issue: NextGen client sends ADT messages to their Hospital system. Thehospital only wants to see messages for patients which they have seenpreviously. NextGen has a custom demographic field which says “Seen atLocal Hospital” and has “Yes” and “No“ entries. This information can beexported in the HL7 message in a ZPD segment.Resolution: Use Connect to create a new channel, in the Source orDestination there is a “Edit Filter” item. Create a new filter to look at the ZPDsegment and if the value is not “Yes”, filter the message.*Alternately the filter can be done on the destination if multiple destinations areused.

Message Filtering Use Case 1 - SimpleMessage Filtering Use Case 1 - Advanced

Message Filtering Use Case 2Issue: Local Hospital sends Lab Results for all of their patients to the NextGenclients system. The NextGen client only wants to receive messages forproviders which are rendering practices in their system.Resolution: Use Connect to create a new channel, in the Source orDestination there is a “Edit Filter” item. Create a new filter to look at the HL7provider fields (OBR-16, ORC-12, PV1-7, etc, etc). Check the provider id inthose fields and if the provider is not one of the clients rendering providers, filterthe message.

Message Manipulation

Message Manipulation Use Case 1 - SimpleIssue: Local Hospital sends Documents to the NextGen client’s system. Thedocument descriptions are not user friendly and are difficult for doctors todecipher what they are looking at.Resolution: Use Connect to create a new channel, in the Source orDestination there is a “Edit Transformer” item. Create a new transformer tolook at the HL7 document description field (OBX-4.2, TXA-16 or OBX-3.2).Use the information in that field to map the bad descriptions to user friendlyones.

Message Manipulation Use Case 1 - Simple

Message Manipulation Use Case 2 - AdvancedIssue: Local Hospital sends Plain Text Documents to the NextGen client’ssystem. The document format needs manipulation and conversion to PDF so itcannot be edited.Resolution: Use Connect to create a new channel with two destinations. Inthe first destination make it a “document writer” and edit the filter to create yourdocument content which is used in the template field. In the second destination,get the document created from the first destination and insert it into themessage.

Feed Splitting/Combining

Feed Splitting/Combining – Use CaseIssue: NextGen client needs to send ADT to three local hospitals also receiveunsolicited lab results and documents from those hospitals into the NextGenEHR. They would like to accomplish this with one feed of demographicsleaving NextGen along with one feed of labs results and one feed of documentscoming into NextGen.

Feed Splitting/Combining – Use Case

Feed Splitting/Combining – Use CaseFood for Thought - IdentifiersAll of the different identifier types in the message need to be merged down toone common set for their specific identifier type.Any provider id sent in the message should be resolved to that it is their NPI(National Provider ID).Any location id sent in the message should be resolved to a common locationidentifier.The visit id’s send in the message should be resolved to a common visitidentifier.Any other fields in the message which are treated as identifiers need to haveresolution performed on Connect.

Feed Splitting/Combining – Use CaseFood for Thought – Message StructureCreate one common structure for the incoming message (see the NextGenspecification for information on the specific message you are trying to map)which is going to be imported by Rosetta.For example if the Document Import interface is setup to pull the description ofthe document from OBR-4.2 in the message, all messages will pull thedescription from OBR-4.2 on that feed. Connect must put the document namein that field or default a value in the field for the users to see in the application.

Feed Splitting/Combining – Use CaseFood for Thought – DemographicsDemographic exports are easy to put through Connect. Let Connect manage message manipulation along with taking one exportfeed and sending it to multiple systems.When Importing demographics NextGen it is not recommended to co
